Show affiliationsFor a Bose–Einstein condensate in a double-well potential, time-periodic shaking can lead to the emergence of non-classical mesoscopic superpositions on very short timescales. It is suggested to experimentally detect these deviations from mean-field (Gross–Pitaevskii) behaviour by investigating both the variance of the particle number and the interference pattern. The disappearance of the interference pattern followed by its reappearance a short time later could serve as an experimental signature of mesoscopic entanglement.
